Event Details

Several recent stories about the University of Hawaii have made us wonder what the heck is going on at the university? So we invited representatives affiliated with the university to participate in a Civil Cafe to talk about "What's Ailing UH and How To Fix It." Joining us for the discussion will be new Manoa Chancellor Robert Bley-Vroman, Board of Regents member Jeff Portnoy, UH Faculty Senate Chair Ron Bontekoe, and Associated Students of UH President Stephen Nishihara. Civil Beat reporter Nathan Eagle will moderate the panel.

The event will also be livestreamed on our website and broadcast on Channel 54 through our partner, Olelo Community Media. If you have questions for our panel, you can ask them in person at the event, by using hashtag #CivilCafe on Twitter, or email gpark@civilbeat.com. We expect it to be a lively conversation, but as always #becivil!

Civil Beat

Civil Beat is the largest nonprofit news outlet dedicated to public affairs reporting about Hawaii. Our focus is on investigative and watchdog journalism, in-depth enterprise reporting, analysis and commentary that gives readers a broad view on issues of importance to the community.

Civil Beat also hopes to foster community discussion by providing a place where citizens can debate important issues in a civil manner, free from cheap shots and personal swipes. Our goal is to challenge our leaders to do better. We are the watchdogs of the public’s trust and we take seriously the mission to ensure our government and civic leaders are not abusing that trust.
